On Thursday, January 20, Grant Elementary School kindergartners in Shawn Starck's and Mara Colella's classrooms extended their learning outside the four walls of the classroom when they visited Maywood. Naturalist Instructor, Rebecca Clarke, taught the children about different types of animal tracks. Clarke and the students then went on a hike so they could test their observational skills as they looked for tracks in the snow. The children also learned about animal adaptations for winter survival. The field trip was an extension of the "Animals in Winter" unit that the students studied in class.
